Xiao Daidzhao

Growing up with eccentric materialistic parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.

48 Hours a Day

The cheongsam lady got up and sent Zhang Heng out of the screening room, all the way to the corridor.

At the very end, the VIP 6 room's door was opened. However, Old Man Geng was not the one who came out first. The first person that Zhang Heng saw was a middle-aged man of about 40 years old. He wasn't particularly tall, standing at only 1.7 meters. This made him half a head shorter than Zhang Heng. Although he was short, he was not the kind of person that one should mess with.

Whether it was the long scar on his face or the two missing fingers on his right hand, they all told what he had gone through. This was also the era where mechanical prosthetics were extremely well developed. He, however, still chose to keep his physical flaws.
